The cane is a simple accessory with a lot of personality. Some are sleek and elegant, some are twisted and gnarled, others are bright and silly. Canes make great carving projects for many reasons: they have endless potential, require only a relatively small time investment, and are good pieces to practice on. They also make terrific gifts, and are top sellers at shows.

Carve a fancy bird that doubles as a nutcracker with Tom Wolfe’s help in this book. He explains carving, painting, and finishing the piece. The step-by-step instructions are clear enough for a beginner to follow, while more advanced carvers will learn from Tom's expert techniques. A huge, colorful gallery illustrates dozens of canes of all skill levels to give you plenty of ideas for carving your own.
